Chapter 505: Heavenly Soldiers and Generals Display Their Divine Might! Sword Duel! Humbly Inviting the Old Ancestor to Manifest! A Scholar’s Passion!

“By divine command, let the spirit troops act at once! Heavenly soldiers and generals, reveal your divine might!”

The girl in green formed hand seals, and one after another, heavenly soldiers and generals clad in bodies of divine radiance appeared. Her spellcraft was exquisitely refined, so much so that she could truly be called an army unto herself.

The moment the heavenly soldiers appeared, they immediately suppressed the several ferocious beasts. After all, the weapons in the heavenly soldiers’ hands were all powerful magic artifacts. Beams of divine light shot forth, and they successfully pinned down the four ferocious beasts!

“Go!”

A streak of golden light flew from the innkeeper’s hand, and a golden-armored divine figure appeared. It was the hundred-thousand-merit-points artifact, the Daoist talismanic armor!

As this Daoist divine general manifested, its aura of pure-yang dominance surged forth. The presence of this single figure overwhelmed all the heavenly soldiers and generals combined!

“You!” The girl in green’s expression changed. Her hands traced rapidly through the air, and a talisman fully two zhang tall appeared, shooting straight toward the innkeeper in an instant.

But the golden-armored divine figure somehow intercepted it before it reached her, and forcibly smashed the glowing divine talisman to pieces.

Boom!

The Daoist talismanic armor was originally a defensive item. After being enhanced into a hundred-thousand-merit-points treasure, it had gained sentience. It was truly the ultimate tool, capable of both fighting and tanking damage!

The golden-armored divine figure formed from the talismanic armor charged straight toward the girl in green.

At this moment, the big yellow dog, with his body scorched black from the lightning, finally shook off the paralysis. He successfully struggled to his feet, let out a furious roar, and lunged forward!

This scene featured underworld ghost soldiers, heavenly soldiers and generals, divine beasts like Baxia, Chaofeng, and Suan Ni, a mysterious primordial remnant, the Xuanhuang Skyhound, and even a golden-armored divine figure. Anyone who didn’t know better would think this was a battle between immortals straight out of myth!

“If you were really the person I’m looking for, you should have been staying in Wei City all along. How could you have something like this?!” the girl in green exclaimed in shock.

The magical artifacts in this woman’s hands were far too powerful!

“Little brat, you’ve got no man doting on you, what would you know?” the innkeeper laughed.

She’s just an immature kid!

Before the girl in green could even react, the Suan Ni suddenly broke through the defenses of the heavenly soldiers and generals and appeared right in front of her, opening its massive jaws and swallowing her whole!

But in the very next instant, the Suan Ni’s belly burst open, blazing with radiance that shot ten thousand zhang into the sky. The girl in green burst out from its stomach, hand seals already formed, with a tiny sword just three cun long hovering above her head, flashing incessantly.

“Whether you’re that person or not, today I’ll let you taste the power of my Autumntide Sword!”

The small sword in her hand was an exceptionally formidable flying sword, and it was razor-sharp and indestructible. With a mere thought from her, the tiny sword tore through the air, shooting straight toward the innkeeper.

In the next moment, the golden-armored divine figure once again interposed itself before the innkeeper.

Clang!!

A sound like a great bell reverberated through heaven and earth. For the moment, the razor-sharp little sword failed to break through the talismanic armor’s defenses!

However, the girl in green truly possessed profound and wondrous sword arts.

The little sword instantly split into thousands. Before the golden-armored divine figure could react, the Autumntide Sword had already broken through to the front of the innkeeper!

Clink!

With a crisp, ringing sound, the Autumntide Sword was knocked to the ground, then instantly returned to hover above the girl in green’s head.

In the innkeeper’s hand was an ancient sword, its aura immensely powerful.

Suddenly, the girl in green felt a sharp pain. She discovered that a strand of divine flame had wrapped itself around the Autumntide Sword, relentlessly attacking her through it!

“The Southern Ember Sword?!” the girl in green cried out in alarm!

She urged the Autumntide Sword to forcibly extinguish that divine flame, finally dispelling the pain.

As she looked at the mature, beautiful woman before her, a sense of powerlessness unexpectedly arose in her heart.

The innkeeper, meanwhile, smiled faintly. This sword had been entrusted to her by Li Yanchu to pass on to Qinglan, but she had never managed to find her. She had no idea where that girl had gone, so the innkeeper decided to use her younger sister’s sword for the time being.

After all, my man has already been “used” by you!

The girl in green had no idea that the innkeeper was thinking such a melodramatic, absurd thought at this very moment.

She urged the Autumntide Sword once more, and...

Boom!

Just then, a streak of flowing light shot forth. The Southern Ember Sword and the Autumntide Sword tangled together, clashing with constant

clink-clink

and

clang-clang

sounds as they chased each other across the sky.

Of course, if one looked closely, it was clear that the Southern Ember Sword was the one relentlessly pursuing and battering the Autumntide Sword.

The girl in green forcibly suppressed her anger and explained, “What happened today was just a misunderstanding. I had no intention of offending you, I merely wanted to test you.”

“Test me?”

“If I’d been an ordinary person, wouldn’t I have died by your hand?” the innkeeper said coldly.

The girl in green would have been better off saying nothing; once she spoke, the innkeeper immediately hurled the Palm Thunder Technique at her.

Boom!

The girl in green was blasted backward through the air. A layer of white light around her body shattered, though she herself did not seem to suffer any real injury.

“You can’t kill me. And if I want to leave, you can’t stop me,” the girl in green said arrogantly.

“Is that so?” the innkeeper sneered coldly.

With a single motion, she controlled the Southern Ember Sword and, in an instant, pinned the big yellow dog, who was still locked in fierce combat with the Suan Ni, firmly to the ground.

“Then I’ll kill your dog first,” the innkeeper said in an icy tone.

“Ah...!”

Caught completely off guard, the big yellow dog let out a yell as an extremely powerful force from the Southern Ember Sword rampaged through his body.

In the next moment, the Suan Ni lunged in and killed the big yellow dog outright, tearing his body to pieces!

“Goldie!!!!” the girl in green screamed, her eyes instantly turning blood-red.

She drove the Autumntide Sword to strike at the innkeeper, but the Southern Ember Sword tore through the air once more, smashing straight into the Autumntide Sword.

With that, a burst of blue-and-red light exploded in the sky. The Autumntide Sword was clearly inferior to the Southern Ember Sword.

Now the two swords resumed their aerial chase, but after the heavy blow it had just taken, the Autumntide Sword was repeatedly hammered by the Southern Ember Sword.

“I’m going to kill you!” The girl in green’s voice was icy cold.

She then activated a spell and crushed a jade pendant at her waist.

“I’m a descendant of the Seasons Grove, Shi Xiao’e. I humbly invite the Old Ancestor to manifest!”

As her words fell, majestic immortal music suddenly resounded through heaven and earth. The figure of a refined scholar slowly appeared, holding a carving knife in one hand and a bamboo scroll in the other. His aura was like towering mountains, and the moment he appeared, even the sky-piercing killing intent of the great ferocious beasts was suppressed!

“Why have you summoned me?” the scholar asked calmly. His voice was like a great bell, reverberating across the entire world!

“This woman is the one you have been searching for. Take action and subdue her, Old Ancestor,” the girl in green said respectfully.

The scholar suddenly cast a glance at the innkeeper, and it was as if thunder exploded in the heavens.

With just the divine might of that single look, the great ferocious beasts instantly retreated back into their wooden tokens, and the radiance on the talismanic armor’s surface was rapidly weakened.

Fortunately, the talismanic armor managed to block the brunt of that gaze’s power.

“An object of an old acquaintance... yet not quite the same,” the scholar murmured to himself. He lightly waved the bamboo scroll in his hand, and in an instant, an overwhelming force pressed down from above, as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth caving in.

The innkeeper frowned slightly, as the power emanating from that bamboo scroll also brought her an immense sense of pressure. She struck out with a surge of magic power as vast and surging as the sea, yet it only managed to hold back the bamboo scroll for an instant before being shattered by it.

At this time, a look of vengeful satisfaction appeared on the girl in green’s face. But in the very next moment, a crisp ringing sound echoed by her ear.

Clang!

A resplendent blade light slashed forth in an instant, and...

Crash!

The bamboo scroll shattered!

Just then, a young Daoist appeared, his expression icy and composed. His qi and blood were like a vast ocean, and within his eyes seemed to lie an endless sea of lightning!
